恋人はドアの向こうに

The cozy, intimate setting added charm to the story, but I wonder if it was also a way to heighten the sense of community and secrets. Did the author always envision this as a small-town love story?

The sparks flew from the first page, but sometimes it felt like the connection was too instant. Is that just a hallmark of this genre or did the author craft it this way intentionally?

The story has a nice rhythm, but I was curious whether there was a conscious decision to keep the spice level at a certain point, or if it evolved naturally during writing.
